Storage Mirroring Ports
Both the Management Console and the Storage Mirroring server use ports to communicate with each other.
Management Console ports
The Storage Mirroring Management Console uses two ports for Storage Mirroring communications.
 Heartbeat Port—The Management Console uses this port to listen for heartbeats transmitted from Storage Mirroring
servers.
 Status Transmit Port—The Management Console uses this port to send requests to Storage Mirroring servers so that
it can update its at-a-glance monitoring information.
1. To access the port settings, select File, Options.
2. Under Storage Mirroring on the Configuration tab, modify the Status Transmit Port and specify the number that you
want to assign to the port. Under Automatic Service Discovery on the Configuration tab, modify the Heartbeat Port
and specify the number that you want to assign to the port. The default values are
1505 and 1500, respectively. The valid
values are
1025 to 65535.
3. Click OK to save the settings.
NOTE: These changes will add any new Storage Mirroring machines to the display, but will not remove Storage
Mirroring machines that are using the previous port settings. To remove those machines, the Management
Console must be restarted.
